Winchester continues its long tradition of manufacturing military-spec ammo with this 240 round case of 7.62x51mm cartridges. Suitable for use in M-14s, FALs, and other 7.62x51mm rifles, these rounds fire a 147 grain full metal jacket bullet at a muzzle velocity of 2,800 feet per second and deliver excellent performance for long-range target shooting.

This ammo ships in two sturdy plastic Winchester-branded ammo cans, each of which features a latch, folding handle, and stackable form factor. You can continue using them long after you've fired the ammo!

The 7.62 NATO cartridge dates to the 1950s, when it replaced the .30-06 Springfield in US military service. It was in turn succeeded by the 5.56 NATO round when the military transitioned from the M-14 to the M-16 as its primary service rifle, but remains in wide use for snipers, machine gunners, and some special forces personnel. Its commercial counterpart, the .308 Winchester, is usually loaded to higher pressures but maintains safe interchangeability.

Winchester ammunition is loaded in the USA using non-corrosive primers and reloadable brass cases.

Had no feed issues through my M1A. For under a buck per round it isn't a bad deal at all.

Just bought a brand new Springfield M1A and I needed some break-in ammo. I bought several cans of this Winchester 147gr ammo along with several other brands to see what this gun liked. Shooting through an Oehler 35P proof chronograph it registered an average of 2800 fps at 100 degrees F in the South Texas heat. Complete bolt cycle and No Fail to Feed or Eject. It shot 2.5 inches higher and it grouped about a half an inch better than the Federal XM80C 149gr. @ 2676fps. Hardly an apples to apples comparison, every gun has a personality just like us, but I'm still looking for the nodes in this barrel. I figure it's good enough to stock pile for the next revolution. Every good Patriot should be prepared. Lucky gunner always does an honorable job with every transaction I've had with them so buy with confidence. God Bless America

Q: Hello, is this steel core ammo?

Posted On: 2/24/17By: Aaron Shepherd

A: Hello Aaron,
This ammunition is loaded with a lead core, bi-metal jacketed projectile. Due to the steel content of the jacket, this ammunition will not pass any type of magnet test.
